Get Focused with Nikon's AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D

The Nikon AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D is a great lens for use in general photography. Photographers should be very comfortable using this quality lens for landscaping and wedding photos. It features a very light weight for a 74 degree wide angle lens. It features Nikon's Super Integrative Coating which provides vibrant color and minimizes risks of ghosts and flares. You can tell why Nikkon's coating leads the industry by the way it controls reflection caused by extended wavelengths.

The Nikon AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D has 6 lens elements in 6 groups and uses 7 diaphragm blades. The focusing distance at the closest range is stated to be .85 feet, and is usable with a circular polarizing filter. When you purchase this item it comes with the lens, a 52 mm cap for the front and an LF-1 cap for the back. The lens is warranted by Nikon for five years.

Users of the Nikon AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D will find that it's depth of field is superb especially when the focus and aperture settings are done manually. The weight of the lens makes it great for those “walking around,” and even is highly rated for its performance in night settings. The 28mm focal length is generally regarded as one of its strong points, especially when used with digital SLR. The focus feels pretty much friction free as is typical with Nikon lenses. The focus ring itself is in the front, unlike many other models where the ring is somewhat hard to access. Also typical is the switch used to disengage the focusing motor when the photographer wants to switch to manual focus. To the chagrin of many, CRC and autofocus are not features of this Nikon lens. Still, many photographers will call this lens a “beginner's” lens, so those who are well established in the field of photography might want to keep this in mind (in other words, this lens might not be for you). Still, it has robust features that hold a lot of promise to the amateur who is seeking a good compromise between lens performance, ease of use and initial cost.

The Nikon AF NIKKOR 28mm f/2.8D is just one more reason that Nikon has the claim to making the greatest pictures in the world.
